I took them intermittently over a period of 6-8 months. In the beginning, I did so while also creating an enormous flow chart/mind map of everything in my life, how I felt about each facet, and what I wanted or thought about each part.
It helped me immensely see a bunch of negative patterns that I'd heretofore actively denied, and through that allowed me to make some hard decisions about who I wanted to become. In effect, it gave me the opportunity to see myself with some objectivity and empathy, and through that it allowed me to choose a path forward that wasn't so destructive. I have no idea if that methodology would work for anyone else, but it worked for me in a way that nothing else had.
